The Ip Man series has ended. May I ask what you think of the Ip Man series IP and Donnie Yen?
A: There is no doubt that the "Ip Man Series" is Donnie Yen's most complete work since his film career. Whether it is "Slaying the Wolf" or "Fuse", as the first to bring mixed martial arts into an action film, it reflects the ingenious work as an action guide, but the role played by the Ma Jun policeman is still Donnie Yen's early style, so brave Fighting hard, impatient and fiery. When it came to Ip Man, Donnie Yen really understood how to play a good role. The seemingly easy-going, seemingly easy-going boxing master revealed the demeanor of a generation of masters, and was no longer the face-lifted role of the past. Although there are many bridges, there is a feeling of deliberate performance, but as an action superstar, such a performance is really rare.
Ip Man series, I personally think that 1"4"2=3, the first part left an indelible impression on me, while the second and third parts are relatively routine, fighting for the sake of fighting, and the fourth part is more is serious. Maybe the plot is thin, and the characters' behavior is blunt and unconvincing, but just with the flashback shots of the fight and the last stake, the fourth film is definitely worth five stars. The most exciting three fight scenes are from Bruce Lee teaching foreigners, Ip Man's challenge to a karate master in the ring, and Ip Man's final battle with the Marines. Showing three completely different styles, Bruce Lee implements the theory of Jeet Kune Do that the world's martial arts is only fast and unbreakable, and the officer played by Akins opens and closes karate combined with the whirlwind legs that can be retracted and released. It is definitely a particularly beautiful action movie. In the landscape, Ye Wen is looking for the gap between the opponent's attack while seeing the tricks and demolition, using the fast, accurate and ruthless indicators and Japanese punches to reinterpret the true meaning of Wing Chun boxing, which is killing boxing. This is Donnie Yen's last costume kung fu film. The fact that I have to admit is that Lord Dan is really old, and so are kung fu films. Lord Dan takes Ye Wen 4 like a shooting star across the sky. Bright enough. With the end of the Ip Man series, kung fu films should also come to an end and gradually disappear from people's sight.
Do you think the end of the Ip Man series means the end of kung fu movies?
A: Compared with the superheroes who shake the mountains with their gestures, the Transformers with cool armor, and the plain chickens and lumberjacks who turned from car thieves to international agents, our kung fu movies are indeed a bit outdated, come on. It comes and goes with hatred of the country and the family, defending the dignity of the Chinese people, and proving that Chinese kung fu is no worse than other kung fu. The prospect of Director Xu's kung fu film is questioned.
Moreover, kung fu movies are more dramas with martial arts actors as the core. Donnie Yen and Jet Li are the same age and have persisted for so many years, but they have barely survived to this day, when it is time to hand over the baton. Facts have proved that Zhang Jin is more suitable for supporting roles and villains, and the presence of the leading role is not too great. Wu Jing has no time to think about kung fu movies. After all, with his years of experience in the market, he knew early on that kung fu movies would be hard to come by, so he simply started a military action movie, supported the sci-fi blockbuster "The Wandering Earth", and established the image of a patriotic soldier. , I think it will be difficult to see if he will come back to make a kung fu movie if he acts like the first brother at the box office of the Chinese film industry.
Recommend, apart from "Ip Man", "Fuse" and "Slaying the Wolf", which of Donnie Yen's works do you like?
answer:
Especially recommend "Young Huang Feihong: The Iron Horse", "Legend of the Wolf Warrior" and "Jingwumen", the former two are classics of kung fu movies, and the latter is the pinnacle of the action design of TV series. The rest can be seen, and it looks better than no recommendation.
Comment on Scott Adkins?
A: Scott Adkins is my current favorite martial arts actor besides Donnie Yen. He is very much like Donnie Yen before he became famous. The role that everyone is most impressed by is Boika in The Ultimate Fighter.
In fact, Scott Adkins originally came from Jackie Chan's family class. He started acting in 2002, but he can only act as a supporting villain or the protagonist of a B-level film. Donnie Yen's leg skills are strong due to the time spent in the air and continuous leg swings, so the three-legged volley and the quick and continuous legs are killing him, emphasizing fast and precise. And side kicks, the movements are extremely stretched and smooth, emphasizing beauty.
Scott's role as a Marine Corps officer this time is a perfect performance. It is a pity that he and Donnie Yen were not able to fight to the death in mixed martial arts. If the equally violent and hot Boyka were on the screen You can fight Ma Jun, I believe it will make all mixed martial arts fans and action movie fans climax.
Evaluate Ba Ye?
I have read " Secrets of Kung Fu Movies " written by Zhang Li before . I admit that my concept of Ba Ye was vague at first. I thought he was just a very good martial arts instructor. Later, I found out that our Chinese martial arts superstars were basically trained by Yuan Baye. For example, Jackie Chan, who was known as a box-office poison a long time ago, cooperated with Baye in "Snake Shaped Hands" and "Drunken Fist". A new path for kung fu comedy. And Jet Li, who cooperated with the eighth master, established the title of the emperor of kung fu with two peak works of kung fu films, "Fighting Heroes" and "Once Upon a Time". Donnie Yen also became Ba Ye's apprentice early in the morning. Ba Ye has been working hard to take care of Zi Dan on the way to the movies. Unfortunately, whether it is costume kung fu or fashion action, Jackie Chan and Jet Li are in front, and the road of acting is stagnant. Fortunately, Zidan In the end, he can only return to the public's field of vision by focusing on the actual combat action design and the Ip Man series, and of course, the eighth master's mention to him is indispensable. Zhang Jin was also a member of the Eighth Master Yuan's family at first. Later, there were more and more performance opportunities. After marrying Cai Shaofen, he gradually became a star. The director and martial arts instructor of Wu Jing's debut works "Kung Fu Kid Creates Love" and "Tai Chi Master" is also Yuan Baye. It is no exaggeration to say that, apart from Bruce Lee, the status of Chinese action superstars today is basically inseparable from Yuan Ba Ye.
Ba Ye's martial arts instruction style is different from other martial arts instructors whose style is mainly based on me. Generally, he will discuss with the actors and guide them, and tailor a set of actions for the actors according to the location. Therefore, the actors who cooperate with him are in the The action shown on the screen can generally achieve more than expected results.
